missizzyWeeks after our last attempt to sign up for Fios fell victim to their website going wack, my sister and I tried again. We ended up having to use Edge, because it was still going wack on Firefox, but once we'd done that switch, the order itself went easily. (Trying to handle our new Verizon account was a little trickier, but it'll probably be fine.) They come to set it up on Thursday. We even ended up going for 1 GB, which between one thing and another won't actually cost us more than 500 mbs would've for a while. Especially since I get a gift certificate along with it that I'm hoping to use for something.
The main driving point remains it'll definitely cost less than Comcast, which we may need soon. This week we got the news that the funds keeping the library open will run out at the end of November. Everyone else at the library seems to think the shutdown will end by then, but at this point I'm assuming the worst. Though if things do get that far, and the Fios internet is good enough to at least make it possible? I'm totally going to give streaming a try. I'm determined to have that, under those circumstances.
Hells, I very much enjoyed watching Jen and Aliona have Emma Gregory on, especially since tonight I saved Minthara for the first time, and I appreciated the character all the more after hearing her commentary about her. She was interesting to listen to all together, especially since I now think my first experience of Jane Austen's Persuasion might have been listening to her read it out loud; she's done a lot of audiobooks.
